Review Quotes:
"I have nothing but praise for this extremely fine collection of studies on various aspects of the Baroque. It is a book that fills a major gap in the literature" --Sun News Austin
"Is it a style, a period, a way of expressing grandeur or channeling emotions? Baroque Latinity tackles the complex question of what it is that makes a Neo-Latin text 'baroque'. This will no doubt become key reading for anyone else interested in Neo-Latin writings from the late sixteenth to the early eighteenth century." --Ingrid De Smet, Professor of French and Neo-Latin Studies, University of Warwick, UK
